Dear Jane at Bennington

We had a great weekend in the Berkshires and the best was getting to see the Jane Quilt at the Bennington Museum.  I'm going to try to put a link here to the slide show on photobucket - the museum allowed pictures as long as there was no flash, so these were taken with my iphone, but they seem fairly decent.  Lighting around the quilt was low.  The museum has had the quilt since the 1920's but they don't know where it was before that according to one curator.  It's in absolutely amazing shape with only a little fading in the upper right corner.  The quilt is oriented 90 degrees to the right (from Brenda's layout in Dear Jane), making Block J-12, Rebecca's Basket upright rather than tipped to its left.  Click on the link to see the slide show!!!!!!!!Dear Jane Bennington Slideshow
